Our community (13)
The Play Council makes decisions about how to make our play and lunchtimes the best they can be.
The Assembly councillors have an important role to play in setting up and introducing assemblies every day. They have to be confident and able to project their voices accross the hall.
Children's opinions are very important to us and we listen carefully to what they think about their school and how we can improve.
At Hannah More we believe that everyone's views are important, and School parliament is one way that those views are shared. Our School parliament meets every week and discusses issues that affect the whole school. Each class in Year 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 is represented by a councillor whose responsibilities include collecting opinions and information, feeding back from School Council minutes, meeting, discussing and effecting change around our school with relevant adults and working on various projects. Each week the parliament members take a question back to class to be discussed.
Friends of Hannah More is the charity linked to the school which supports the wider community. Their website is www.friendsofhannahmore.org They support courses and activities as well as individuals. Their next meeting is the AGM on Tuesday 7th November, 6.30 pm, at the Ibis hotel. Everyone is welcome, but please let them know by sending an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

There is a list of other organisations providing support here. The council also make emergency payments, for example if you have no food or cannot afford to heat your home.
Family swims are back! These are fun swims for Hannah More children. We know the Saturday 6pm slot is not great for everybody, but it is the only time you can book the whole pool. Friends of Hannah More pay £200 for each swim - we get grant funding to cover most of cost. And school staff kindly give up their time to help out! Under 8s must have a parent in the water with them. You can bring ONE older sibling (Year 7 or above) only. The guidelines are here...
Our adult community history project linked to the SS Great Britain is researching ways to make this wonderful Bristol attraction more accessible for families and more relevant to our community. The community researchers also helped to bust some myths - did you know for example that the SS Great Britain was a passenger ship and a cargo boat - but never had any links to the slave trade (it was built a generation after!)?

Our Hub library is open after school on Tuesdays and Fridays during term-time, for families to come and have a look or borrow a book.
